Boletarian Soldier

General Information

Soldiers of the Boletarian army, they come equipped with sturdy iron armor and a variety of deadly weapons, such as swords, spears, halberds, axes and crossbows.

They often throw Firebombs and consume Crescent Moon Grass too.

They're found all throughout the Boletarian Palace, scattered in platoons. They're usually accompanied by Dogs or Blue Eye Knights and, in rare occasions, Red Eye Knights or Imperial Spies, but they also defend the access to the King's acropolis alongside the Tower Knight and set ambushes through it following the lead of a Fat Official.

There are five types of Boletarian Soldiers:

Strategy

Although these enemies aren't very powerful, they can cause significant damage to a new character, especially when attacking in pairs. Once you have a little experience, use them to practice your Parry and Riposte and backstab timing. Note that they also have a habit of throwing Fire Bombs and can heal themselves with Moon Grass. In 1-3, if you stay too close they will break your guard with a kick and then attempt to deal a heavy blow.

Trivia

• One of the few enemies without a Black Phantom variant.
